Looking at those numbers, I'd say that June 26-28 looks just as acceptable, if not more so -- it's top-ranked first choice, it's got a total of 20 votes in the first three questions (while the 19-21 has 17), and only five people voted against it, as compared to 3 for the 19-21. But that could all change with a few more votes.
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Heh. Earlier I was thinking, "How are we going to analyze that data authentically?" Then I remembered that we have mathy geniuses. Yay.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Is it crazy to narrow it down and have a run-off?
With so many choices I, for one, was pretty non-committal with my commitments (if that makes any sense).

I think this is a great idea. Maybe have a top three run-off?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Sounds good. I'll close the poll on Sunday, ask the mathy-type people to help me determine the top 3 (Hil? Please?), and post the run-off next week?

Heh. I just played around with the current numbers a bit. I realized that, with the numbers the way they are now, I can make one analysis that puts June 19-21 in first place, and a different analysis that puts it in last place. (The analysis that I think makes the most sense puts it in fifth place. That was a sort of modified Borda count -- give 3 points for each first place vote, 2 points for each second place vote, one point for each "other" vote, and subtract a point for each person who said they couldn't make it.)

Oooh, hey. That's what I wanted to do, but I didn't know if it made mathy sense or not, and then my boss continued on her campaign of insanity and I had to go be her Sancho Panza.
